* A bug in certificate path validation introduced in 1.11.6 which
caused all CRL signature checks to fail has been corrected.
* The ChaCha20 stream cipher has been added.
+* The ``Transformation`` class no longer implements an interface for keying,
+ this has been moved to a new subclass ``Keyed_Transformation``.
+
+* The ``Algorithm`` class, which previously acted as a global base for
+ various types (ciphers, hashes, etc) has been removed.
+
* CMAC now supports 256 and 512 bit block ciphers, which also allows
the use of larger block ciphers with EAX mode. In particular this
allows using Threefish in EAX mode.
